AL CLELAND TAKES THE HELM AT EFILM

We’re pleased to announce that Al Cleland, who has been leading our trailers business as VP for the past eight years, has been named Managing Director. He will continue EFILM’s decades-long leadership in pioneering technologies, techniques and workflows that keep our clients on the forefront of creativity and efficiency.

A 30-year post-production veteran, Al started his career at Editel and joined CIS, which later became EFILM, as one of the company’s original employees. He served as Senior VP and General Manager at Technicolor Creative Services for 10 years, and at Postworks, Los Angeles, before returning to EFILM in 2008. He has worked at every level of post from tape assistant to senior executive, and has a strong track record for delivering the highest quality images and consistently positive client experiences.

EFILM's Development Team Creates - Portal

EFILM's Development Team Creates - Portal

Deluxe Creative is streamlining the digital workflow process for production clients.

The typical order for VFX plates — the unaltered camera footage for VFX use — previously took at least 48 hours before Weyron Henriques and his 5 person team at Deluxe’s EFILM/Company 3 created the Portal, our visual effects vending machine. Now, orders on an average take two to three hours, allowing clients to pull VFX plates, metadata and supporting formats at any time and from anywhere.

With a simple and intuitive UI that hides immense complexity and automation, Portal is the modular and scalable point of self-service pull order submission and content control for clients—the point of contact for accessing, distribution and receiving content from VFX clients for DI production within Deluxe’s workflow orchestration pipeline. Portal gives clients unprecedented control to access content anywhere, anytime, in any format with precise dailies and camera metadata and color science, backed up by an industry-best imaging-science team. Portal also monitors downloads and notifies VFX production when vendors receive content.

A client’s VFX team can now pull shots quickly, at anytime, and have them delivered in the correct spec to the VFX vendors anywhere in the world, completely automated.

With Portal tying into Deluxe Creative’s internal pipeline of products, the platform has already become a trusted modular and scalable solution, used on more than a dozen major studio features, with more on track for 2016 and beyond.
